Thank you for your comment and your kind...Hi Sonja! Thank you for your comment and your kind words of encouragement, they mean the world to me! I am a middle school Teacher Librarian and I do sometimes have more time available for planning than I did when I taught elementary Library Media for 5 years. Any classes coming to the Library Media Center for instruction stay with the kids as I prefer to teach collaboratively. This includes lessons like Speed Dating with Books and any kind of research unit. The only exception is during Library Media Orientation, when I want to have the kids all to myself so I can bond with them &amp; get to know them. I&#39;m a full time Teacher Librarian, five days a week, I co-run our LIVE daily TV News show and come in about 30 min earlier than most a day to prepare for that. I also have at least one lunch duty a day - I sit outside the cafeteria and give out bathroom &amp; hall passes. It&#39;s not as glamorous as it sounds! My schedule is open, except for standardized testing. I do try and schedule book exchanges and teaching in between testing. Thanks again for your comment, stay daring and remember - only feel like you need to try 1 NEW thing. A week, month, or year - doesn&#39;t matter. Just push yourself to stretch yourself but by your choice! <br />Are you on Twitter? If so, please reach out to me so that I can connect with you there, too! <br />Cheers! ~Gwyneth @GwynethJones - The Daring Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455804690126231910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-26069031529708728822018-07-01T08:31:45.593-04:002018-07-01T08:31:45.593-04:00Oh my word!

I hope my descriptions and picutre of how I did the activity were informative! As always, if you have a question - you can always contact me on Twitter or via email.

This is now my second year doing library, and I find myself constantly looking to your blog (and those of others) for inspiration. This Pokemon Go activity is just the most brilliant idea for exposing kids to all the parts of the library. I can only imagine how much they loved it. I am in disbelief at all of the amazing things you are doing with your students and the time you have available to them. I teach elementary library and also do library prep coverage which is the majority of my time, but I do have collaboration blocks in there, too. I only have 3 blocks of time in the week when the library is truly available for anyone to come in (open book exchange). If I remember correctly, you teach middle school, and I&#39;m sure things run much differently because of that. Do you have blocks of time where you are providing prep coverage for teachers? Are there blocks of time where you are teaching the kids, but the teacher is not present? Are you full time, five days a week? Is your schedule completely open and flexible? Thank you for always reminding me to be daring.Sonja Clarkhttp://adayinthelifeofaj.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-50993206348094077952017-09-06T17:18:45.539-04:002017-09-06T17:18:45.539-04:00Wow!
